 Haiti’s foreign minister summoned the French ambassador Thursday to address “unacceptable remarks” by President Emmanuel Macron at the G20 summit this week in Brazil, in which he accused the Caribbean country’s transitional council of being “total morons” for firing its prime minister. “Honestly, it is Haitians who killed Haiti by letting in drug trafficking,” Macron was caught on video saying.  “They are completely dumb. They should never have fired him,” he added, referring to the dismissal of former Prime Minister Garry Conille by Haiti’s transitional presidential council just days ago. Conille, who was appointed by the council to the position in May, worked for several years at the United Nations before returning to the country to pave the way for presidential elections next year and to restore stability.  After learning he was dismissed following a power struggle with the council over control of the government, he said the measure to oust him was unconstitutional.  Conille was replaced on Nov. 11 by businessman Alix Didier Fils Aimé. “They are complete idiots. They should never have taken him out. The prime minister was wonderful,” Macron said. The controversial remarks drew protests from Haitian authorities on Thursday.  Haiti’s Foreign Ministry said that French Ambassador Antoine Michon had been summoned following the remarks, which the ministry branded as “unfriendly and inappropriate.” Macron pledged Thursday that “France will never look away in the face of a crisis,” adding “there will never be a double standard in the face of tragedy, whether in Haiti, Venezuela or on the doorstep of Europe.”  Haiti’s Foreign Ministry said that at the meeting, Michon pledged that France would stand by Haiti to help restore security and carry out elections. France has pledged to contribute €4 million ($4.18 million) to the UN fund that finances the security mission destined to restore security in Haiti.

Over 43,000 runners participated in Ethiopia’s 24th annual international 10km road race, setting a new record with nearly 5,000 more participants than last year. The race, held at Meskel Square in Addis Ababa, was attended by distance running legends, including race founder Haile Gebrselassie. Gebrselassie, speaking at the event on Sunday, emphasized the importance of attracting elite athletes from around the world while maintaining the race’s quality and atmosphere. “It’s not just about numbers, but about bringing top talent and keeping the race competitive,” he said. The Sofi Malt Great Ethiopian Run, now awarded World Athletics Label status, featured prominent athletes, including Kenya’s Ruth Chepngetich, the newly-crowned world marathon record holder. It was her first time racing in Ethiopia, and she expressed her excitement about the experience and the enthusiastic crowd. In the women’s race, Ethiopia’s Asayech Aychew claimed victory with a time of 32 minutes and 13 seconds. In the men’s race, defending champion Binyam Mehari improved on his previous time to win in 28 minutes and 25 seconds. Both winners received cash prizes of 250,000 Ethiopian birr (approx. USD $2,000), part of a total prize purse of 1.3 million birr.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) decision on Thursday, November 21, to issue arrest warrants against him and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of committing war crimes during the ongoing conflict in Gaza. In a defiant statement, Netanyahu called the ruling a “black day in the history of nations,” and criticized the ICC, which he said had become “the enemy of humanity.” He rejected the charges, which include accusations of starvation, murder, and persecution, arguing that Israel had provided “hundreds of thousands of tons of food” to Gaza, and blamed Hamas for the humanitarian crisis. The ICC panel, however, found that there were reasonable grounds to believe both men were responsible for crimes against humanity, particularly related to the ongoing starvation in Gaza. Despite this, Netanyahu stated that the arrest warrants would not deter him from continuing Israel’s military campaign. The ICC’s move marks a significant moment, as it is the first time that a sitting leader from a major Western ally has been accused of war crimes by the global court. However, since Israel is not a state party to the ICC, the practical implications of the warrants remain uncertain, especially given the strong support Netanyahu has from the United States and other allies. The decision has already raised tensions with Israel’s European partners, some of whom signaled they may act on the warrants should Netanyahu travel abroad. However, Netanyahu’s government has dismissed the ICC’s jurisdiction, with the United States and Israel both rejecting the court’s authority on the matter. The ICC’s chief prosecutor had requested the warrants six months prior, and the decision further isolates Netanyahu and Gallant on the international stage, increasing the diplomatic pressure on Israel.
